As clever as Snape was at twisting people around to his way of
thinking (see the chapter with Bella and Sissy at Spinner's End),
I can well imagine that, had LV asked for Trelawney, Snape could
have easily convinced him that Trelawney was absolutely worthless,
as she herself knew nothing of the prophecy that she had made.
And, as far as both LV and Snape know, she has never again made
a true prophecy.  I doubt if Snape was told about the exam prophecy
and the connection with Peter Pettigrew.
